Some lucky hermit crab will scuttle across the finish line on this bar, and there will be much rejoicing.

Sure, the Belmont Stakes – a Triple Crown horse race – has potential for fun. The horses will be gorgeous, the people-watching (on TV) will be amusing (all of those horsey people, all of those fortunes, altogether on a New York track), and there is the chance the chestnut colt I’ll Have Another will win the first Triple Crown of the century.
